Rich Hill R-IV Schools Welcomes New Superintendent, Ms. Christy Jones!
Rich Hill R-IV School District is excited to announce Ms. Christy Jones as our next Superintendent, beginning July 1, 2027!
Ms. Jones brings 29 years of educational experience, including 20 years in educational administration, to Rich Hill. She currently serves as Superintendent of Northeast Vernon County R-I School District in Walker, Missouri, where she has worked closely with students, staff, families, board members, and community members to support student success and strengthen the district.
A native of Plattsburg, Missouri, Christy grew up in a small community where she was actively involved in sports and school activities. Her experiences growing up helped shape her appreciation for the important role schools play in bringing people together and creating opportunities for students.
Throughout her career, Ms. Jones has believed that successful schools are built on strong relationships, collaboration, trust, and a shared commitment to students. As she shared:
“My leadership philosophy centers on listening, learning, building relationships, and working together to identify opportunities for growth.”
As she prepares to join the Rich Hill community, Ms. Jones looks forward to learning about our traditions, celebrating our strengths, and working alongside students, staff, families, and community members to build on the district’s successes.
“I am committed to taking the time to get to know the people who make Rich Hill special and to ensuring that decisions are guided by what is best for students and the future of the district.”
Outside of her professional life, Christy enjoys working on the farm, spending time outdoors, taking on remodeling projects, and enjoying time with family and friends.
She is excited to begin this new chapter and looks forward to becoming part of the Rich Hill community.
“I believe every school district's heart is its people, and I look forward to listening, learning, and building relationships with the students, staff, families, and community members who make Rich Hill such a special place.”
Her commitment to collaboration, relationships, and creating the best possible educational opportunities for every student aligns with our vision for the future of Rich Hill Schools.
A Successful Today...A Better Tomorrow. Together, we look forward to building on our strengths, embracing new opportunities, and continuing to put students first.
Please join us in giving Ms. Christy Jones a warm Rich Hill Tiger welcome!
We also extend our sincere appreciation to Dr. Kevin Goddard, who joined Rich Hill in 2020 and will retire from public education after 30 years of service. We wish him all the best in his retirement!
